5 March 2012 - Saw your Kicks!!!

               You are now 12 and a half weeks old and you have given us a lot of excitement today. When we saw you and your little tiny 5.5 cm long body, you were kicking and swimming backwards in the amniotic fluid you are floating in. You were boxing the fluid with your tiny cute hands and I never expected to see you this active so soon. Your nose looked sharp! How cute are you! Heard your super fast heart beat, that was normal too! Can you even imagine how many times have I seen your printout picture after returning home? Patting my tummy imagining that it's you! I can't stop looking at you!

               Doctor has given me tablets to prevent vomiting and I must take it before meal only if I think I am going to puke. But that is little too difficult to assume. Sometimes I don't feel any nausea, so I don't take the tablet and waste all the food that I ate with great difficulty. Can't take the tablet before every meal because it has its own side effects. I feel sad when I eat 3 dosas with so much trouble and after the last bite, everything comes out without leaving even a bit for you! As far as you are getting enough nutrition, I am fine. My giddiness is still with me. Can't stand for long in the kitchen. After cooking every dosa, I need to sit. 

               And how did I even forget to mention the terrible heart burn so far!? Yes, it makes me wake up in the midnight and sit up straight crying. My complaints of pregnancy don't stop there. I never used to wake up in the night to go to bathroom unless I ate watermelon just before going to bed. In that case, now if I wake only once, I consider myself lucky that day!
